To all whom it may concern. 2 I

Be it known that I, fHnRMAN MoRrrz, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York,-in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cloth-Steaming Machines,

of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to machines for steaming cloth and its ob ect s to provlde live steam, to deliver same 1nto a hollow cylinder, reduce the pressure and finally deliver the steam through openings upon the surface of the cloth itself as will be more fully described in the following speci fication, set forth in t-heclaims and illustrated in the drawings, where1n,

Figure 1 1s a longitudlnal sectional view of the cylinder used in steaming cloth. Fig.

2 is a section on the linec2-'2. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 8-3. Fig. 4: is a similar section on the line,4. 4. Fig. 5 is a sectional view'on the line-55. Fig. 6 is a similar view on the line 6-6.; Fig. 715 a sectional view on the line 77.

The device consists of'a cylinder 10 of sheet metal having heads 11 and 12, the

former having secured to it the trunnion 13,. while the head 12 is provided with a hollow trunnion 1 1, both being mounted in bearings 15, supported in any desired manner. The entire surface of the cylinder 10 is provided with inwardly projecting tubes 16 which afford openings for the escape of steam when the cloth is wound'upon a cylinder to be operated on and at the same time to prevent the escape of water resulting from the condensation of the steam but which may be drawn ofi through the. cook 17 at one side of the cylinder.

The steam is introduced through the pipe 18, connected with the hollow trunnion by means of the swiveled coupling 19 which permits of the rotation of the trunnion, while the pipe 18 is stationary. Projecting inward from the trunnion 1 1 is a pipe 20 having branches 21 which are steam outlets and which deliver the steam against the I head 12 so as to break its force and yet de.

liver it within a chamber 22, forming a compartment within a sheet metal vessel through which the steam passes. This ves- Specification of Letters men' Pa'tented Dec.'17, 1912. Application filed February 6, 1912. Serial No. 675,791. I

25, and 26, all having perforations and dividing compartments through which the steam passes. .The perforations 27 of the partition 23 are offset from the perforations sel is divided by means of partitions 23, 24,-

; :1 UNITED a 28 of the partition 24, while perforations 29 and 30 of the other two partitions are also out of line so that the steam has no chance topass directly through the vessel but is obstructed by these baifieplates which causes the water to fall and drain 0-11 and deliver the steam to a'central pipe 31 with very little water remaining. The pipe 31 is made ofsections and is provided with radial pipes 82, carrying. perfo-- rated pipes 33 which are parallel with the pipe 31 and are adapted to deliver the steam into the cylinder so that 'it may escape through the tubes 16. The various compartments above mentioned are drained by means of a pipe 34 which delivers the condensed waterto a cock35 by *which it may be 'drawn ofl and the location of theperforations are such that the water is permitted to drain 011' before it reaches such a height that it will enter the'pipe 31 and mix same withthe steam. During the period that the steam is turned on, the cooks 17 and 35 are closed and are not opene'd'until thereis a sufiioient amount of condensed liquid to rendersame necessaryi It is obvious that the parts may be other wise arranged or modified without depart ing from the essential features above described and without. departing from the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a cloth steamer, the combination with a cylinder, of interior outlet tubes within the same, a steam inlet tube forming a a trunnion, return branches for the inlet tube, a receptacle with bafilers and an out let, a supply pipe connected with the -re-' ceptacle and supported by the other end of the cylinder, and parallel and radial pipes composed of T couplings and elbows and connected with the supply pipe.

2. In a cloth steamer, the combination with a cylinder having a series of inwardly loo 4 projecting tubes, of a hollow trunnion at one end, a pipe with return branches connected with the opening in the trunnion, a vessel within that end of the cylinder, partitions within the vessel and having staggered perforations, pipes for draining the vessel, a pipe connected with the Vessel and running the length of the cylinder, radial pipes branching from same and parallel perforated pipes carried by the radial pipes and connected with the pipe from the vessel. 10

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
